Proper Health management requires the monitoring of the health status of the population, the provision of services as to the coverage and utility, drugs stocks and consumption patterns, equipment status and availability, Finances, personnel on a regular basis.India has a large population living in widespread far flung areas. Because of this, Data collection and streamlining of public health services has always been a very tough task.
The Government of India has launched the
Health Management Information System (HMIS) portal to convert local health data into real time useful information, management indicators and trends which could be displayed graphically in the reports.The new system envisages enhancing the information flow at various levels and providing useful and timely inputs for programme development, monitoring and midcourse interventions in the policies.
The HMIS portal captures data to be collected as per the revised HMIS formats on a web-based system at the District level so that the primary data can be easily aggregated and the information and reports flow quickly to the state head quarters and the Ministry.
The application has been developed by the Ministry in technical collaboration with iBILT Technologies who will also be providing maintenance and support to the application for the next five years.
The portal will be generating unique intelligence reports using the advanced SAS Data Warehousing platform and explore and establish new linkages and advanced analysis for policy initiatives.
